According to Beasts of War, Mantic Games will be releasing a Kings of War Historical book in the near future which will allow historical armies to play in the existing 2nd edition Kings of War rules. They also state that they will include mythical creatures for those historical army lists in the book. This is getting me excited to play my Romans versus Orcs, or my Samurai versus Vampires. This looks like it could be a lot of fun.

I am already using my dark age historical armies in KoW. Most of the Kingdom of Men troop types map over to historical types very easily. I will be interested to see what else they bring to the game with this release.
